Pour the sauce over the sausages and potatoes and toss gently together. Scatter the rosemary sprigs on top, return to the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes until golden brown and sticky with the glaze. Sprinkle with salt and coarsely ground black pepper before serving.

Useful Tips

Sausages should be stored in the refrigerator immediately after purchasing. Cook them within two days of purchase or freeze them in the deep freezer.

Use a non stick pan for best results when cooking. Spray on a light coat of oil if your pan is not non-stick

Warm the pan up to a medium setting and never on high heat.

The key to cooking sausages is to never push too much heat too quickly; a gentle even heat is the best cooking method. Maintain the low heat to avoid burning your sausages too quickly.
